I remember joking that the bike was VW’s roadside assistance program.
Would love to see something with 2 doors and nice sized bed. I think there’s a niche market for a modern Dodge Rampage.
On my old pickup (an 81 Chevy Cheyenne 3/4 ton) the wipers would wipe once across the windshield at random intervals despite being turned off. Sometimes it would happen after 5 min of driving and then again in 20 min, other times it wouldn’t happen at all or after a longer period of driving.
I’ve been wanting to build one out of an 80’s caravan. There used to be a shuttle service at KC airport that had a bunch of them pulled behind the Dodge Maxi-Van shuttles. They used them to haul the luggage for passengers in the big van.
Short wheelbase is great for getting trailers into a tight spot. I use a garden tractor to park my car trailer behind the garage, but I bet a Festiva would work too.
Looks hard to park
T-tops and a flatbed, awesome!
There used to be kits in the JC Whitney catalog to convert most compact trucks to a dually. I’ve seen S-10’s and Dakotas done as well.
I had a 1980 Oldsmobile, it wouldn’t idle once it warmed up and thus stalled at every light and stop sign, maybe GM was onto something.
I had fun riding in that car around an autocross course a few times, but yeah, wouldn’t be my choice in traffic.
If off the grid means out of range of my home Wi-fi you’re probably right.
I give it less than a month after launch before there is one lifted with small wide wheels, the overloaded scrap hauler stance and smokestack through the bed.
I love the flat fender Jeeps.
